With a reported net worth of $1.1 billion, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is one of the wealthiest women in tech.
Though Sandberg lives in a stunning contemporary home in Silicon Valley with her husband and two children, she isn't known for having a particularly extravagant lifestyle.
Sandberg comes from a government background and has worked her way up to the top of two major tech companies. Now she's working on a movement to change women's position in the workforce, and she's recruited celebrities and traveled the globe to do it.
Sheryl Sandberg was born Aug. 28, 1969, in Washington, D.C. She has two younger siblings: a brother named David and a sister named Michelle. The family moved to North Miami Beach when Sheryl was only 2 years old.

Sandberg's father was an ophthalmologist, and her mother taught French at a local college. The couple founded the South Florida Conference on Soviet Jewry through their local synagogue, and their home soon became a safe haven for Soviet Jews looking to escape anti-Semitism.

Sandberg always shone in school. "In public schools, for a girl to be smart was not good for your social life," her mother Adele told The New Yorker.
